-- Zankou Chicken

1716 S. Sepulveda Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90025
310-444-0550

The L.A. Times says it’s “the best chicken in town at any price.” But this price is unbelievable. And the restaurant knows it. A huge lighted sign displays the menu options with the price loud and clear. Whole chickens for only $8.29? Bargain.

But there is more to this place then chicken. Other items include falafels, salads, hommus and mutabbal.

The family-owned chain first opened in Beirut, Lebanon in 1962. Then in 1982 the Iskenderian family decided to move to Los Angeles. Two years later the first U.S. Zankou opened in Hollywood. Now there are six restaurants located around the area and they are all open 365 days a year.

Stop by and see what all the fuss is about. And don’t forget to use the famous garlic sauce.
